Copycat Tate's Cookie Recipe Review

 If you are a Tate's cookie fan than you can spot the infamous green bag of Tate's from a distance at your favorite market (or white bag if gluten free). My local market first started carrying Tate's, the original Chocolate Chip flavor, known for its' crispy buttery flavor; the market now carries the entire line of cookies including gluten free. 

If you like your chocolate chip cookies on the crispy side then you will enjoy Tates! I came across a copycat recipe for Tate's Chocolate Chip Cookies which I have tried quite a few times and found very enjoyable. Not exactly the same of course as the original Tate's but still yummy on its' own.

History of Tate's

The idea and recipe behind Tate's is from Kathleen King from the Hamptons.  She has been creating desserts since 1980 and has two cookbooks: Baking For Friends and the Tate’s Bake Shop Cookbook still available on Amazon or used online book sites. As Tate's grew through the years with the inevitable ups and lulls business' encounter, Tate's rise and success of it's products was ultimately purchased in 2018 by Mondelez for a reported 500 million dollars.
